Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure of an inner fender provided around a front wheel of a vehicle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There is known a technique of attaching a mudguard formed of a rubber flat plate from a fender to the front side of a front wheel in order to prevent mud splashing splashing forward with rotation of a front wheel of a vehicle. However, the above-mentioned prior art is a mudguard, which is a flat plate, which only prevents mud splashing in the forward direction, and is not sufficient in function, and its mounting is troublesome since the rubber plate is mounted via a retainer with bolts and nuts. It was a time-consuming operation.

[0003] Fenders are disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open Nos. 64-10475 and 56-141875, but they are effective in preventing strength, preventing mud splashing, and guiding the splashed mud. Could not be done.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a durable, thin, and effective prevention of mud splash even without a mudguard, and to effectively reduce the splashed mud. To provide the structure of the inner fender that can be guided to the vehicle.

[0005]

According to the present invention, in a structure of an inner fender provided around a front wheel of a vehicle, the inner fender (1) has a first portion (A) which is substantially horizontal in a mounted state, A second portion (B) extending obliquely downward from a front end of the first portion (A) to a lower position of the vehicle body (5); and a vehicle body (5) obliquely forward from a lower end of the second portion (B). And a third portion (C) extending to a lower portion of the vehicle, and a tip (D) having an L-shaped cross section is formed at the tip of the third portion (C), and the L-shaped tip (D) is a vehicle. Has a plurality of beads (2) provided in the longitudinal direction and has a downwardly projecting flange (19) on the outside.

[0006]

[Explanation of the operation and effect] Therefore, muddy water scattered by the rotation of the tire mainly hits the first portion and the second portion, but muddy water hitting any portion also has the second portion,
Since it falls through the third part from the very low part to the inside of the vehicle, it does not splash on the outside of the vehicle.

Further, since the third portion is inclined obliquely forward, the distance between the tire and the tire becomes longer, the amount of water droplets floating between the tire and the inner fender decreases, and the speed decreases. Water drops do not fly out in the axle direction.

Further, the strength is increased by the beads in the longitudinal direction, and the beads can be thinned accordingly. And these beads do not block the flow of mud. Furthermore, since there is a flange on the outside, it has the effect of reinforcing and preventing mud splashing.

[0009]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1, an inner fender 1 made of resin has a first portion A which is substantially horizontal in an attached state, and a diagonally lower portion from the front end of the first portion A, also referring to FIG. , A third portion C extending obliquely forward from the lower end of the second portion B to below the vehicle body 5, and a cross section extending downward substantially perpendicularly to the tip of the third portion C. It is composed of an L-shaped crest.

The inner fender 1 is provided with a plurality of beads 2 for reinforcement in the longitudinal direction. Referring to FIG. 2, the widthwise direction is curved so as to surround the tire 6, and the tip of the inner fender 1 forms a ridge. Are formed so as to be inclined such that the inside 4 is lower than the horizontal 3 than the outside 3 of the vehicle.

The outside of the inner fender 1 is
It has a flange 1a projecting downward as a whole, and is formed so as to reinforce and prevent mud splashing to the outside.

Therefore, referring to FIG. 3, the water scattered like S1 due to the rotation of the tire 6 flows in the direction of the very low part 4 while traveling along the second part B and the third part C, and Since it falls on the road surface like E from inside, there is no splash of muddy water to the outside.

Further, water or mud entering between the road surface and the tire 6 scatters from below the tire 6 to the front as shown in S2, but since the distance to the third portion is long, it falls on the way as shown in F. As a result, the amount of floating water droplets is reduced, and the water droplets are caught and do not scatter outside.

[0015]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the following excellent effects can be obtained. (A) Mud splattered from the front wheel to the inner fender flows from the first to third portions along the tongue and falls inside the vehicle, so that mud does not splash outside the vehicle. (B) Since the third portion is inclined diagonally forward, the distance between the tire and the tire is long, the amount of flow floating between the tire and the inner fender is reduced, and the speed is also reduced. , Muddy water does not splash in the axle direction. (C) Strength can be increased without obstructing the flow of mud by the longitudinal beads. (D) Mud splash on the outside of the vehicle is prevented from the outside flange, and the reinforcing effect is improved.

Accordingly, a mud guard is not required, the weight is reduced, and the number of steps is reduced.
